The Prayer of the Day
O God, with steadfast love you draw us to yourself, and in mercy you receive our
prayers. Strengthen us to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit, that through life and death
we may live in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Worship Insight
God promises Jeremiah that a “new covenant” will be made in the future: a covenant that will allow all the people to know God by heart. The church sees this promise fulfilled in Christ, who draws all people to himself when he is lifted up on the cross. Our baptismal covenant draws us to God’s heart through Christ and draws God’s love and truth into our hearts. We join together in worship, sharing in word, song and meal, and leave strengthened to share God’s love with all the world.
